Expert recommendations on early diagnosis and referral of axial spondyloarthritis in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Review in Clinical rheumatology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Axial spondyloarthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily involves the axial skeleton (sacroiliac joints and spine), causing stiffness, severe pain and fatigue. In some patients, definitive structural damage of sacroiliac joints is visible on imaging and is known as radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Some patients do not have a clear radiographic damage of the sacroiliac joints, and this subtype is known as non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Early diagnosis is important for reducing the risk of irreversible structural damage and disability. Management of axial spondyloarthritis is challenging in Saudi Arabia because of inadequate disease knowledge and the unavailability of local guidelines. Therefore, this expert consensus is intended to provide recommendations, including the referral pathway, the definition of remission and the treat-to-target approach, to all healthcare professionals for the management of patients with axial spondyloarthritis. A Delphi technique of consensus was developed by involving an expert panel of 10 rheumatologists, 1 dermatologist and 1 general physician. The experts offered consensus-based recommendations based on a review of available scientific evidence and clinical experience for the referral, screening and management of patients with axial spondyloarthritis.
